Weave in ends. Sew one circle to the bottom of the cylinder and one circle to the top of the cylinder

Finishing:

Crochet a 6" chain (if you cannot crochet, you could braid a 6" braid instead). Determine the center point at the top of your cozy. Sew the chain/braid to the lid flap making a loop to allow for the button. Sew the button to the jar portion of the cozy so that it will hold the loop snugly.
